A supplementary estimate of 371 million rupees to purchase vehicles for 9 parliamentarians including several ministers and a deputy minister was presented to parliament today.

The supplementary estimate was tabled by Chief Government Whip, minister Gayantha Karunathilaka.

Meanwhile, Speaker Karu Jayasuriya requested all parliamentarians to abstain from insulting and accusing each other inside the parliament chamber in order to preserve the dignity of every house member.

He said several MPs behaved in a manner in which the dignity of the house was negatively affected last Wednesday.

He reiterated that it is the collective responsibility of all parliamentarians to preserve the dignity of the supreme house.

In addition, the JVP questioned in parliament about the progress of the investigations to the recovery of body fragments of the late Wasim Thajudeen from the hospital affiliated to SAITM.
